Colorado Grill’s chefs bustle within a renovated century-old movie theater, serving up sizzling Southwestern plates made from scratch. Diners scoop up starting bites of white-cheese blanco dip with chip trowels, presumably in search of the long-buried white-gold loot of dairy conquistadors. The Pueblo Platter then corners tongues with a triple threat of Mexican eats, including a cheese and onion enchilada, a beef burrito, and a crispy beef taco. Poblano-pepper and onion squires help the carne asada’s grilled steak into a cloak of monterrey jack cheese before toasty tortillas armor the ensemble, and the grilled devils shrimp, sautéed in chipotle butter and flanked by morsels of bacon, challenges Southwest veggies to a fiddling contest for their souls.

As they wrap their morsels in corn or flour afghans, guests marvel at the grill’s era-melding décor. The historic-theater building retains its original brick walls and copper ceilings, but acquires futuristic flair from televisions broadcasting sports events and robot soap operas.

Though Colorado Grill sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
